Raiders’ Defense Poised for Success in Upcoming Season
The Las Vegas Raiders’ defense was the backbone of the team last season, carrying them through tough games and helping secure victories. Despite a disappointing overall season, the Raiders are optimistic for the upcoming season after finishing strong and adding defensive lineman Christian Wilkins to their roster.
Bleacher Report’s scouting department ranked the Raiders’ defense as the eighth-best in the league, highlighting their impressive performance in the second half of the season under interim head coach Antonio Pierce. The defense showed significant improvement, especially in their pass rush, which averaged over three sacks per game.
However, there are still areas of improvement needed, particularly in the secondary. The defensive backs will need to step up to build on last year’s momentum, with questions surrounding the cornerback and safety positions.
